Hi, my name is Diane Furtwangler. I am the French teacher at Muncie Central High School in Muncie, IN. During the upcoming summer of 2009 my students and I have the opportunity of traveling to France. We are all very excited about this outstanding opportunity - it will be a once in a lifetime experience for all of us ( Read more... )

Well, I finally have something worth posting about. I've finally accepted a teaching position. I met with the Assistant Superintendent and Superintendent on the 5th of the month and they offered me a middle school foreign language class (the original position that I had interviewed for). I obviously accepted the job ( Read more... )

Well, Dean and I had our first run-in with a neighbor today. It actually started about a week ago to be honest. The people that live in an apartment across from ours have been taking up two parking spots when they park their car. You need to keep in mind that these are two premium parking spots, not spots like in the back of the complex. Anyways, ( Read more... )

Well, my life basically sucks right now. I didn't get the job. I got a letter in the mail this morning. Awesome right?! So now, I'm back to having no money, no income, and no health insurance.

I had my first real, professional interview today. I turned in my application for Martinsville High School two days ago, the principal called me to set up an interview yesterday, and I interview with him today. I believe it went very well. The interview lasted 45 minutes (it didn't seem like it was that long at all). My chances look pretty good. ( Read more... )

Well... I officially moved in with Dean in Bloomington, IN. Everyone in both families knows and seems to be supportive. Everything is going great. I graduate at the end of this month and then the job search really begins. I can't wait. I'm in such a good mood!!!

Well... where to start?! I was having a great day today. My lessons went well, the kids had fun, they seem prepared for the quiz tomorrow. The day started out pretty well, even though I was extremely tired today for some reason. Anyways, I leave school today and head towards Anne's house (my student teaching advisor) for our weekly seminar things ( Read more... )

I got the results back from my Mighigan Tests for Teacher Certification today... I passed both of them. Yay! I'm super excited if you can't tell! I can't believe I'm going to be graduating in less than three months ( Read more... )

I'm so sick of working on my final projects... I just want it to be Friday. At that point I'll only have one exam left, if you can even call it that. We just have a tiny little project due on Monday, but I'm not worried about that at all.

I can't wait for Christmas break!!!!

I'm sitting here in the law library at IU as I have been forever (at least it feels like it). Dean's in class. We've been here since 8:00 this morning. We left for like an hour earlier to get a car problem fixed and grab a really quick lunch. But other than that, I've been here all day. I can't seem to get any work done either because there are so ( Read more... )
